Hey LTGers, greetings from Canada!
I just joined and this is my first post even though i dont even have a guild guitar! unfortunately due to my age, i haven't even heard of guild nor would have had to play one before the fender era (i am now on a quest to find a nice westerly...hopefully). It all started this summer when i traveled to japan to find my dream archtop guitar. There is a city in Tokyo lined with guitar shops and it was quite beautiful. Anyways, i was originally looking for an archtop guitar with a flat top dreadnoughty sound (very very stupid i now realize) but didnt end up finding one. while i was giving up, i decided to look at some flattops. The Guild d-25 was very appealing regardless of people saying it is an ugly guitar. so i played it and instantly loved it. i regret it now but i decided that taking an old guitar on a plane was a stupid idea so i didnt buy it. additionally, there were guild d-25s on the vancouver craigslist so i decided i can get one back home. sadly a few of them had already sold and the one man that seemed promising kept ignoring my calls. :evil:
While i played that first D-25 it seemed very pronounced in the mid range. i really liked it. is that a characteristic with all guilds? or atleast the D-25 series?
(this is a spruce top version with the arched back)
Cheers,
Drka
